HolyHandGrenade Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I do mean media blitz. Not in the ridiculous WTF way that Uno was being promoted, but LEGIT, straight-up, logical promo: talk show performances, rolling stone interviews, etc. Crossing my fingers on that front. Exactly this! As much as us fans may find the Japanese thigh tattoos entertaining, REAL promotion will do the work 100 times more effectively. Plus, more GD is more GD - I would enjoy seeing them whether their sales improve or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I have to wonder if this is the calm before the storm. And by storm I'm not even referring to the tour, I do mean media blitz. Not in the ridiculous WTF way that Uno was being promoted, but LEGIT, straight-up, logical promo: talk show performances, rolling stone interviews, etc. Crossing my fingers on that front. And I would kill to see Green Day on Jon Stewart. I agree with Michael, I love Colbert (and I'm sure Green Day does too), but Billie wasn't very adept at matching his comedic edge... Tre should have fronted that entire interview ("I just hate sandals!" literally saved Billie from being unable to answer half the questions, so many of which came to abrupt, awkward endings, with Colbert waiting for a more fleshed out amusing answer to happen ). Tre Cool can take on anyone. The band would make more sense as a whole on the Daily Show because Jon Stewart does more "serious" interviews and asks questions with the hopes of getting a legitimate answer... Colbert seeks humor in all his questions. It would be quite an honor for GD to be on TDS. So few bands play there! (Even if, sadly, the sound sucks for those bands because the studio isn't really equipped for performances. TCR isn't much better, but still ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolyHandGrenade Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Do you think this announcement of the SXSW show is the beginning of the blitz??? I hope so! I really won't know what to think until I see them - these past months have been so unpredictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I think when people finally see them again it's gonna be GD mainia like it usually is whenever they release a record. It's people will remember how amazing they are will just go nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mar Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Nope, Green Day didn't tour in 2013. At all. SO weird that it took that long. Maybe they signed some sort of special contract with MGM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a refund a long time ago and used that $$ for the shows in Pomona and Los Angeles, BUT the ticketmaster app on my phone says that not only do I still have tickets for the Vegas show, but that it's also been postponed for Wednesday, October 29th, 2014. It's gotta be just a big fat glitch, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
